Tim Wallis chicken pickin Swingin' Doors G & B Bender Drop D

[herringbone28]

Hey man......awesome videos and what a string bendin' fool......this way you can have a 3 piece and sound like a 4 piece without having to put up with an arrogant ass steel player. LOL

[BIGBODYCONNECTION]

I read some dumb comments here. Fender did this (Clearence White Signature Model). very cool. it won't limit your ability, only YOU limit your ability. I think it's great. all these guys who talk down to you are just jealous, they also wish they had a B-Bender Tele. Those are some of the coolest Teles around. How much do you charge for the conversion?

[gregalabama]

Sounds good, but Does Albert Lee use one, or did Danny Gatton use one? I think it is a limiting tool to one's development.

[JessicaFisher80]

come out to the vineyard again!

[Lazarusb]

Awesome! Gotta love it!

[Satchmoeddie]

Sneaky Pete is rollin in his grave man! His gizmo still occupies a Tele in my stable with the G bender part of the guitar and part of the B bender ala Parsons & White. Glasser? I don't want to bash a product so I will leave it at that, and same for Parsons Green. This may trump them all at once. You are not "dancing" with the guitar to pull the string tone up and down. My spine likes this idea. Especially after hulking around one of my old full weight Les Pauls for 45 minutes.

[jjohn341]

yea hi teck is realy taking over , first drum machines and B - Benders , , dam it soon you will just have to stand there while the guitar plays itsefe , i allways new it would come to this ,, lol

[vishuflama]

@losers: show us what b-benders you've invented. None? Uhm. Shut up and play YER guitar. Peace.

[justmejammin]

ok that's cool, but what were you doin'? string benders?

[vodtap]

@justmejammin ... Just demo'n my stringbender invention and sending subliminal messages thru the video for my plan of taking over the world.

[Satchmoeddie]

@vodtap Yeah----------That's right. The FCC can't say jack about you flashing a graphic saying either buy it, or just send money to a PO box. I love your design. I won't say where I think you got the drop design from on an open forum. I are a luthier two. Love you Basset Hounds. You of all people should know Bassets can't jump. Great dogs. I have a very spoiled Canaan Dog who watches the shop while I am away. Seeing her run past with a $150 6L6 tube in her mouth is common. Aint broke one yet!

[southernsportsman424]

@vodtap

Tim, love the benders man!!!!!! how did you get into doing so many benders and changes on a six string.......were you a steel player in a past life?????? I am a steel player.......and I love the sound of what you are doing with the drops and benders on electric guitar, some might say that you are trying to emulate steel guitar with this, but it has a totally different "timbre", tone, and sound to me......I LIKE IT!!!! Keep doing what you are doing

[coasttocoast15]

gotta love that drum machine, oh boy

[vodtap]

@coasttocoast15 .... Real sorry I didn't have a real drummer come and setup and play so I could demo a string bender guitar. How stupid of me lol.

[damphear2]

seems he's a bitch and cant bend the strings and play at the same time. pretty sad

[vodtap]

@damphear2 ... Hey Thanks for the kind words and compliments. You should teach a how to make friends and be successful class.

[Satchmoeddie]

@vodtap I can let him practice at the court ordered anger management classes held down the street

[kirbygene]

Smooth ! Loved the sound

[49mruger]

Love Tim sounds Great

[cowgirlmoon]

Awesome, Tim! Thanks for the lesson.

[vfw454]

[Hollcall]

Lighting is atrosious on this clip. All I see is GLARE where the neck should be.

[jakeguitar132]

deadly stuff, would love a B or G bender

[108vasudeva]

this guy is a great guitarist!! =]

[Singleguitar]

My sytem Works great no complants! On A 62 telecaster. B&G Timara Bender System

Willie

[theaquamarines]

It's a great invention, but the b-lever slips at the post ever since I bought it... no matter how tight the connection to the post. I think it would be a huge improvement to have serrated posts, which would eliminate the sipping.

[Singleguitar]

Yes it is A great invention! concidering the price come on give Tim some slack here! G&B bender what would You pay search it! Bet over $400 to $500 he his very fair and A true guitarest at that and good one!

Keeping it real he stands behind his product!

Singleguitar

[kallemalmsteen]

thats cheating!!!!! :P

[Romantase]

@kallemalmsteen that what i was thinking

[bulbheadmyass]

Tasty picking there, love the note bending.

[killphilvol1]

That is interesting I always thought people just bent the notes the normal way for country. That would make it so much easier. And like Hellebender said you can bend another string with your finger while using the B bender as well.

Now anyone know if someone uses a ebow with slide guitar and a b bender? that would be sick.

[dls182]

killphilvol1, that would be completely insane, and probably impossible...

[guitartec]

Too much coffee

[jackjoe90]

sweet!

[wapzilla]

Hey Tim, what pickups do you have in that guitar?

[filecapp]

ooo i git it lol come git me and bring that guitar and teach me sum this stuff lol

[livenlovexoxo]

wtf is this i dont get it

[vodtap]

ur not suppose to get it. It's a plot against you... Only you. Everyone else gets it.

Now that you know we're plotting against... Hurry, shut off your computer quick and hide. We're all coming to get you!

[charlitunaman2002]

@vodtap you make it look too damn easy

[Satchmoeddie]

@vodtap You should have also told him to leave town, and never log onto a computer again or we will track him down withing 5 minutes. I have used the old Bigsby palm paddles, and Parsons White benders, and the Dusenberg paddles. I like all of them. Your stuff is just plain cool as can be. The drop tuners for the E and A string are awesome. The can will and do what the others can't won't and don't. The B & G bender is a super slick & smooth way to raise and lower pitch, and I are a luthier too!

[baddmaddogg]

On the front guitar strap pin it is connected to a mechanism inplanted in through the back of the guitar and goin all the way to the bridge and bends the b string. by pullin up and down on the strap it moves that strap pin and activates the bender.

[elloco246]

que orrible que es la cabeza de la telecaster, la odio, la mejor es la de la strato sin duda

[JKryanX]

still. you worded it wrong. bending a string causes it to tighten. wich causes it to get a higher pitch. you can bend it "both ways" but it still only gets higher in pitch. i know what you meant but you worded it wrong

[Jim5150jvc]

Is the Timara bender the best one to buy right now? I've been wanting to buy a bender for my tele for a while now, and I know there's several competing models out there. . .

[grosseracaille]

that's cool but I think it's more honorable to learn how to do (some of) that with the left hand. tasty licks...

[gitaristgitarist1]

heheh

[gitaristgitarist1]

i looks fucking uggly

[lighteningboy]

This dude has the whole guitar thing licked big time.

[mkschreder]

What telecaster model is that?

[honkybreaker]

its fantastic ,very good

[blueridgeranger]

I just bought one of his guitars.I highly recommened his products and Tim is a great to deal with.

[50999999]

Tim, Is one of the greatist bender players I'v heard, and is also a great guitarist, to boot. LIVE TO BEND

[sjuozhunki]

i have been playing a hipshot b&g bender for about 10 years now[listening to donahue and ray helps] but how can 'you' bend them both at the same time [also in opposite directions]?

[JKryanX]

think about what you just said. bending is bending. you cant bend 2 ways. bending gives you a higher note. in order to get a lower one. you either unbend. or loosen the string someway

[sjuozhunki]

i'm talking about prebends!!!!bend the note first and while letting off bend the second note up. get it?

[Hellebender]

since nobody seems to be answering your question for you...I use a bbender...and yes...you can bend opposite directions..one up while releasing the other. That's the main reason i started using a b-bender. I will either prebend the b up with the bender or the g with my finger...and release one while bending up the other. Hope this helps.

[sjuozhunki]

what i am asking about your bender is can you prebend one note with either bender and while lowering that note [prebent] raise the second note at the same time.[Bending in opposite directions at the same time]- it can be done without benders also just using your fingers or behind the nut.So think about what i am saying-you can bend two ways!!!

[missystu]

I'm begining to have second thoughts about "pro-choice"....

[mightyhaskett]

wow

[cwknig2]

Fantastic, lover your sound.
